Title: A Method of, and Means for, Regulating the Speed and Altitude of Flying Machines provided with Gyroscopically Acting Stabilizing Propellers.
Inventor: MEES GUSTAV
IPC: B64C39/00
Filed: 1911-02-18
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 4165. Mees, G. April 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; propelling; steering.-In flying-machines with gyroscopically-acting lifting- propellers K as described in Specifications 25,749/10 and 2041/11, the axes of the propellers are arranged in front of the centre of gravity of the machine, and the speed and altitude of the machine are controlled by adjusting the blades of the propellers so as to regulate the incidence of and the load on the sustaining-planes H. The machine is provided with a tail plane S, pivoted at o and connected by an arm u and rod m to the swinging seat frame a<2> as described in Specification 2904/11. The seat is prevented from swinging rearwardly of its normal position by stops i which contact with uprights p, but the seat can swing forwardly against the action of a restraining-spring g when the speed of the machine decreases suddenly. The movement of the seat increases the incidence of the tail plane, which prevents the machine from heeling over backwards. The normal angle of incidence of the tail plane is arranged at 1 or 2 degrees less than that of the main plane, and the load is arranged so that the main plane carries the greater load per unit of area. When the machine is started, the tail tends to rise before the main planes and the lifting-propellers are then adjusted to raise the front of the machine. When the machine is on the ground, the planes are at a comparatively large incidence, but as soon as the machine is in flight the action of the lifting-propellers is decreased by the aviator and the machine dips at the front, reducing the incidence of the planes, so that an increase of speed is obtained. In order that the machino should be balanced fore and aft, the angle of incidence of the tail plane must be smaller than that of the main planes in proportion to the difference in the specific loads on the planes. The angle of incidence of the tail plane can be adjusted before or during flight by an adjusting-nut n on the rod m. The shaft w of the propeller is mounted so that it is slightly inclined upwards at the start and is horizontal during normal flight. The tail plane S is arranged to lie in the prolongation of the axis of the shaft w so that the plane receives a direct pull. The stabilizing-propellers are arranged with their axes inclined backwards, so that the propellers act as rotating bearing-planes when the pitch of the blades is zero. The lifting-thrust of the propellers also has a rearwardly-directed horizontal component which serves to reduce the speed of the machine when landing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Trip Devices for use with Railway or other Vehicles.
Inventor: EDWARD HENRY DEWSON
IPC: B60T7/18
Filed: 1911-04-12
Abstract: 9130. Dewson, E. H. July 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Track apparatus for stopping trains.-Trip valves for automatically applying fluid-pressure brakes of railway vehicles by means of an actuating-member on the track are constructed so that the valve, when actuated, is held in the open position until a predetermined interval of time has elapsed, or until a predetermined alteration of train-pipe pressure has occurred. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of valve, comprising a rotary valve 5 connected to a trip arm 7 and formed with ports 10, which, when the arm 7 is actuated, communicate with atmospheric ports 8, 9 in the valve seat. A coiled spring 16, 17 opposes the opening of the valve; but the valve is retained open by the pressure from the train-pipe 13 acting on its face, until the fall in train-pipe pressure is sufficient to allow the spring 16 to return the valve. The valve may be provided with vane 20 so disposed that the flow of the train-pipe air acting thereon tends to maintain the valve open. In a modified form, Fig. 3, the trip-lever 24 is formed with a projection 25 which normally holds a piston 22 so as to cover an exhaust port 27. When the lever 24 is tripped, the piston 22 is forced downwards until the pressure in the train-pipe 13 is sufficiently reduced to allow a spring 23 to return the piston, whereupon the lever 24 falls back to its vertical position.

Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 19,145. Darling, A., Sellers, A., and Spencer, F. J. Feb. 26, 1912. Gear-cutting.-In a gear-cutting machine in in which banks of reciprocating cutters are arranged on one side or on diametrically opposite sides of the blank, and the spaces are cut in the blank by vertical movement of the blank or cutters, a dividing-mechanism is combined with the cutter-carriage operating-mechanism and the blank-operating mechanism, the dividing motion acting through a differential mechanism during the return movements of the cuttercarriage and blank to cause an extra rotation to be given to the blank or be subtracted therefrom. The tangential motion of the bank of cutters during cutting is produced through gearing by a gear-wheel 12, and the corresponding motion of the blank by a bevel - gear 5. During the slow cutting rotation of the blank, the bevel 5 is driven through an inoperative differential gear 19, the box of which is keyed to a shaft 6 by a sleeve 15 carrying the sunwheel 16 of the differential gear, the sleeve 15 being driven by a clutch 26 splined thereto and engaging a slowly-driven worm-wheel 27 loose on the sleeve 15. During the quick - return movement of the blank, the sleeve 15 is coupled by clutch 26 to a fast-driven pinion 14 loose on the sleeve, and at the same time rotation is added to or subtracted from the shaft 6 by a pinion 23 in the differential box which is driven through gearing by a pinion 40, which pinion 40 was coupled bv means of a clutch 39 to a constantly-driven shaft 41 by the cutter slide operating, at the end of its stroke, a rod 34 moving a lever 35 to turn the double-armed lever 38 to couple the clutch 39 and move a pin 50 out of one of a series of holes 49 in a sleeve 48 which then rotates. On a sufficient predetermined rotation having been given to the pinion 23, the pin 50 re-enters one of the holes 49 and uncouples the clutch 39.
